The Viking stuff seems such a stretch to me; Fulford manages to excavate a quote from a book of fiction by RAW to support his anti-immigration views, which, if not a strict 180 from how RAW actually thought about the flow of humans across artificial, socially-constructed lines/borders, is in my estimation, around a 175.<br /><br />Those maps are not only &quot;maps,&quot; they are usually called &quot;political&quot; maps. RAW said mammals mark their territories by excretions; homo sap, instead of throwing feces, throw tons of metal and chemicals at each other. &quot;Boundaries&quot; are marked by excretions: pen and ink on paper. And those reified political lines often mark the spot where two armies got sick of the killing and decided to settle on this river or that hill, etc. <br /><br />NAFTA was sold to the American public as &quot;freedom&quot; &quot;free trade&quot; and that it would make the people in Latin America and Mexico richer, and we would all have much cheaper goods. The wonderful Invisible Hand would take care of it all! O! The beauty of the Hand! Neo-Liberalist economics doing what it does/did/will do.<br /><br />Let us not neglect to take the opportunity to applaud Mr Fulford for his moxy, bootstrapping and good &#39;ol Murrkin wherewithall in being born in the US.

He said that he agreed with Fuller about this and mentioned the EU as an indication that it was going in that direction.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-72567586070594575402010-11-11T03:02:40.949-08:002010-11-11T03:02:40.949-08:00They shouldn&#39;t leave books like that around in...They shouldn&#39;t leave books like that around in the humorectomy ward.
